2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter, melted (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter, melted (1/2 cup)
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Melt stick of butter in a pan on the stove
or microwave for 30 secs. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, stir together dry
ingredients. Add the liquids: syrup, water, vanilla and melted butter.
Stir well until a nice ball of dough is formed. Cut two pieces of
parchment paper the size of the cookie sheet. Lay one piece of parchment
paper on the cookie sheet. Place the ball of dough on the parchment
paper. Lay the other piece of parchment paper on top of the ball of
dough. Squish dough down a little with your fist. Use the rolling pin to
roll the dough between the pieces of parchment paper. Roll until the
dough covers the whole cookie sheet. Remove the top piece of parchment
paper. Cut rolled dough into two inch squares or shapes with the cookie
cutters, being sure to separate the shapes from the surrounding dough a
little. Bake in oven for 18 minutes. Turn oven off, but leave crackers
in the oven to crisp up from 30 mins. to one hour. Store in an air tight
container.
